Playstation 2 Emulation

Recently I started playing all my old NES games on my PSP using emulation. Replaying all the old games I bought over the years is great fun.

I own a PS2 and a few PS2 games but with my new HD LCD TV the PS2 games just look bad. So eventually I decided to ask the Googler if there was something I could do about it and that is how I found PCSX2.

PCSX2 basically emulates a PS2 console, but I can now make use of the nice goodies in DirectX 10, so my old PS2 games really look much better.

Paired with my XBox360 wireless controller these games play just like in the old days, but with better graphics.

PS2 to PS3 converter

Since I am a PlayStation fanboy, I obviously had two PS2 game controllers, so when I bought the PS3 I decided not to spent more money on another PS3 controller. Instead I bought this PS2 to PS3 converter.

You plug the PS2 controller into the one side and the converter's USB plug into the PS3's USB port and that is it. Works like a charm, no setup procedure necessary.

So now I can play 2 player Bionic Commando ReArmed and soon Street Fighter IV or Soul Calibre IV.

Now all I need is a nice Fightstick, but it seems everybody is still out of stock.

Student Urinates on PS2

I found this interesting article on Kotaku today. Apparently some student decided it will be a good idea to urinate on his PS2. It seems the student was not part of the engineering faculty otherwise he would have known to unplug the PS2 from the wall socket first.
